About the Item

Mid-1970s Aipa Wave Crest Hawaii, 9'8" diamond tail, expertly restored by Glassworks Hawaii. Bold yellow deck with classic white-and-blue nose detailing, complemented by vivid pink wrap and bottom. Features Ben Aipa’s groundbreaking ‘Sting’ design—the first winged surfboard ever produced—ushering in one of surfing’s most revolutionary eras. The wing placement delivers early release and sharper turns, a design influence still seen in modern winged boards. An iconic example of 1970s surf innovation, worthy of both riding and display.
